Fifty Foot Hose, Brave Ulysses, Neverland Latin Jazz Band, Dead Girl's Candy
Years before the electro pulsations of Kraftwerk, Eno’s abstract art rock synth explorations or Can’s minimalist collective spontaneous compositions, Fifty Foot Hose was blowing minds with oscillations, warbulations and modulations. They were one of the first bands to fuse rock music with electronic instruments and avant-garde compositional ideas.
